Another Messy year begun

Another Messy Year Begun! 2014 promises to be another amazing year for Messy Church in Australia. New Messy Churches are continuing to launch, existing Messy Churches have fired up for another year and many congregations are exploring Messy possibilities. Thank you, as always, for the contribution you are making to the Messy Church story!

Welcome to the 2013 Winter edition of the Australian Messy Church Newsletter!

Exciting stories continue to emerge from all over the country of the difference Messy Church gatherings are making in the lives of children, young people, adults and local church communities. Let me encourage you to continue to share the story of how God is at work in your Messy Church community amongst the local networks you are part of and the wider Messy Church network (eg. through sending material through to me and posting on relevant blogs).

A highlight, for many, of the current term has been the visit to Australia by Lucy Moore. Lucy visited Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland and there was much joy, laughter and encouragement wherever she visited. Partly as a consequence of Lucy's visit, and partly as a result of the momentum around Messy Church generally, there are now more than 100 registered Messy Church expressions in Australia.

Thanks for the valuable part you are playing in the on-going Messy Church story in Australia.
